That provides enough “technology” to be acquired and aspired to but any local rulers lack the resources to project authority beyond a local radius. It is even more plausible if you figure in magic, particularly Druidic magic. Besides, PoL is fun. It allows a sense of pervading threat and a fear of what lurks beyond the light of your campfire, or in the looming forest beyond the village fields, or in the ruins built by ancients that crumble slowly away. The Anglo-Saxon poem, The Ruin, dates from the C8th or 9th. For me, it evokes a PoL vibe, being a description of Roman Ruins. Enjoy....[ATTACH=full]139684[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
